Sometimes...

Sometimes I feel I ask to many questions!
I feel I didn't have as many questions before surgery and now I feel like I am posting almost everyday with some silly question or other. I feel silly sometimes like I'm being judged "oh no not another topic by Wiccandove!"
Anyway, last few days have been interesting:
1.I threw up for the first time trying to eat eggs to fast. That was scary, and painful. I called the nurse because 3 hours later it was still painful and she was like "its only been 3 hours" like I was a moron. Well, its never hurt throwing up before so I didn't know how long was normal or not! I was pretty much better by the next day by just sticking to liquids.
2. My well meaning BF has discovered he can make all kinds of smoothies and soups and stuff in our new vitamix. This is great but he keeps wanting me to try some and I keep having to tell him no. Today he wanted me to try this frozen strawberry thing he made and he was so proud of himself he was really being pushy with "just a taste". I asked him what was in it and he said "only strawberries, (some other ingrediant I forget) and SUGAR. I was like, really dude? you want me to eat frozen fruit and sugar 3 weeks after surgery? I so hate you right now. Then he looked all embarrased and apologized. I guess it will take time for him to be accustomed to the new norm too.
3. Was sad I couldn't eat chicken alfredo with the rest of the family - especially since they made it the night I threw up and was on liquids only. I know they have to eat too but can't they eat gross things that don't smell so good? :P
4. Joined the YMCA yesterday! Even tho I can't use the pool or anything for another 3 weeks I can still use their walking track, which is nice when its 10 million degrees outside. I did a half an hour on the walking track today. I know its not a lot but its a great start for me.
5. Finaly figured out a way to get in all my protein - Splash protein powder! Now, it tastes like Tang on steroids so I water it down a lot because I'm not a fan of sweet things. I figure getting my protein in will be easier once I can eat more solid foods but for now this stuff is really making a difference - I hit 82 grams of protein today!
Going to be trying salmon tomorrow for the first time since surgery - wish me luck!
